The other day, I received an unexpected package from my best friend Debbie, who lives all the way on the other side of the country in Maryland. She always sends me the most darling cards and lovely gifts.

gifts from Debbie!
A beautiful warm scarf from Seoul and a wristrest.

card from Debbie
The cutest card + envelope! The monkey is a paper clip.

tarepanda wristrest for my trackball
The most adorable wristrest... I was in need of one, too! I have loved tarepanda since I was in middle school, and Debbie always finds the most unique tarepanda goods.

perfect paired with my tarepanda mouse!
I use a trackball these days, but the wristrest is a perfect match for the tarepanda mouse that Dan made for my birthday six years ago.

I miss my friends on the East Coast a lot, and it’s hard to only be able to see my best friend only once or twice a year. But I’m grateful that we’ve been able to keep in touch and stay close despite the distance. I’m always humbled and touched by her friendship. Love you bestest!
